Thanks... and excuse me for not answering earlier.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to make it work. Adapting the sample code, I wrote the following:

This.oDoc.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.Find.Execute(tcFindText, .F., .F., .F., .F., .F., .T., 1, .F., tcReplaceText, 2)

Where This.oDoc is a reference to the current document, and tcFindText contains a text that actually occurs in the header.

After trying a few other combinations, I found that the above command doesn't give any error message... but it doesn't replace anything, either. Any ideas, what I might be doing wrong? Using Word 2003, by the way.

TIA,

Hilmar.
